Europe: Amine Gouiri, the exceptional African in 2026!

Oct 12, 2026

Amine Gouiri continues to rack up statistics in 2026. The Olympique de Marseille forward boasts the best goal and assist ratio among African players in the top five European leagues.

So far, Amine Gouiri finishes the year 2026 at the top of a particularly commendable ranking. The Algerian international is the most influential African player among those competing in the top five European leagues, with a total of 24 goals and assists in 36 matches across all competitions, translating to a contribution ratio of 0.67 per game.

Specifically, the Olympique de Marseille striker has recorded 19 goals and 5 assists over the calendar year. He leads Guinean Serhou Guirassy, who ranks second with 22 offensive contributions in 34 matches, while Senegalese Ismaïla Sarr rounds out the podium with 20 contributions in 38 appearances.

This consistency confirms the excellent year achieved by Amine Gouiri, both with his club and the Algerian national team. Despite some physical issues, the former Rennes player has continued to accumulate statistics and maintains a slight edge over his African rivals.

Just yesterday, Gouiri contributed to OM's victory against Troyes (2-0), although he did not score or assist. His club and national teammate, Himad Abdelli, distinguished himself by converting a penalty in the dying seconds to secure Marseille's success.
